We appreciate the enormous support that our ABestWeb community has experienced over the many years it has served its members and sponsors. We have decided to exit this business and have placed the property up for sale and we are actively entertaining interest.

In the meantime, community members will be able to read but not post to ABestWeb beginning on Jan. 18.

We want to thank you for your numerous contributions and your ongoing support. If you have any questions, please let us know.

The 40% coupon across the top of your site devalues everything you've got there. Your website needs a ton of work. Please consider hiring an OPM from here at ABW who can guide you towards improving things.

The one of a kind rugs are also an issue, it is hard for affiliates to promote merchants that only have one or two of each product in stock. The rugs you have are very nice, but as Donuts pointed out and I pointed out in our conversation the other night, your site needs a lot of work. A consultant will be the best way to get your site on track.

I'm also an OPM with a heap of direct in-house marketing/advertising experience in the online handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian Rug sales area, though I don't have my own forum here at ABW (yet). If you have questions please don't hesitate to contact me for a free consultation.

Liz, it's not even so much support (though that's here too), but direct, specific knowledge and experience with a product line, especially dealing with high end one_of_a_kind items, is invaluable beyond measure.

Nilima, I have to offer another second for Liz' nomination, not only for the above reason, but she's got a history of dignified, dynamic promotion and effective growth for a program, and also - has a loyal following who know she's been a person to be liked and trusted.

I'm sure you'll be growing and making enhancements in the future, but stay tuned. I'm in a bit of a rush now, but I do have several observations about the site I'd like to share that I think are important in terms of conversion.

We are about to introduce a Rug Search engine which shows you the rugs at your price. The added advantage of this site search is that users can narrow the search not only based on the area rugs size requirement, but also based on the pricing of the rugs with accuracy at its best. Well a lot of affiliates would say "other sites already have it"... sure they do but their price matching dont work.If you want an 8x10 under $100 they would 90% a failure at this. We have used a lot of manuall work on this search technology which bring the correct pricing.

Another cool feature we are introducing is color search,again same question, well great but how about color search based on color numbers with a color palatte which shows thousands of colors, visitors pick their particular shade and boom you get that 1 rug mathing that shade...isnt it great!!

so how about speed of the site ...well with all this cool features i have another great news ..we reduced our page load time by more than 60%..

so if you are already in with us great we love you and want to let you know that we are working for you hard and do check out these features soon and those who are considering, this is the right time when you start earning as well, glad to mention we have recently paid commisions on sales of around $1300 and $1000 thats a handsome $120-$140 commision.
